A data artist exploring the future of data about us.

Laurie Frick is a data artist exploring the bumpy future of data captured about us. We’re almost thru the decade when humans shift from mysterious beings - to big data algorithms, where everything about us will be known. Rather than worry, Frick envisions a time when personal data is a peek into our unique identity and just possibly a glimpse into our future.

Will it backfire? Our movements, choices, friends - even the food we ingest will be anticipated. How will it feel when self-delusion becomes impossible? Using her background in high-technology Frick creates hand-built work and installations, anticipating the day when patterns of behavior become patterned artworks and the mass of data will predict our lives.

Frick holds an MFA from the New York Studio School, an MBA from the University of Southern California and studied at New York University’s ITP program. Her insights on consuming data are recently featured on NPR, Atlantic, Wired Magazine; and has been invited to talk at Google, Stanford and TEDx. Recipient of numerous residencies and awards, including Samsung research and University of Texas Neuroscience lab. She has exhibited widely with exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York and Texas. In 2018 she built permanent data art installations at Facebook, CapitalOne, Downtown Austin, Texas A&M and Michigan State University.
